Abstract

Purpose: Understand how the user, the provider/supplier and the decision maker interact in the innovative process, as well as identify how the co-production occurs.

Originality/Gap/Relevance/Implications: There is evidence that the innovation derives among other factors of elements that characterize the co-production. Studies involving co-production of innovation are scarce. This work contributes to increase the theoretical knowledge in innovation in hospitals, mainly regarding co-production of innovation.

Key methodological aspects: Is a qualitative study with case study strategy. Data collection through interviews and documentary research. Analysis of the data by technique of content analysis.

Summary of key results: The logic of product development is still applied in the development of technological solutions for hospital, against the logic of services, involving the interaction of the customer with the supplier. The results also suggest the possibility of relationship between innovation capacity and occurrence of innovation, pointing out the need to test this relationship in future works.

Key considerations/conclusions: It is necessary to understand and investigate the mechanisms that allow the interaction of users, from design to implementation of innovation. It is also important to investigate whether the elements that characterize the co-production are relevant to explain innovation in hospitals, because elements were identified related to the concept of innovation that deserves to be better understood, including in contexts of public and private hospitals.
